Were Railtrack really able to make a permanent decision back then that there
would be no further rail use? I guess 10 years ago another two platforms at
Marylebone weren't on the agenda either...


They're on a 999 year lease:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/mai...2008/04/10/scl...

It would appear there are three double track tunnels:http://prints.leics.gov.uk/low.php?xp=media&xm=670835

One is obviously still in use, and the other two must have been for
when there was a big freight operation at Marylebone.

I can't see any use for them now - you'd need more platforms at
Marylebone and a way of four tracking at least to Neasden.

Did they ever see trains, or even tracks? I believe that at least
one, and possibly two of the tunnel bores was never used, having been
built for possible expansion at Marylebone, which never came.
